For more than 30 years, Danish painter Anne Tholstrup has owned a charming 200-year-old country house in Santanyi, Mallorca.
The organic materials, the soft golden light and the very personal decor give the house a charming soulfulness and a serene, warm and welcoming atmosphere. The raw outer walls glow orange-ocher in the afternoon sun and change hue during the day to cooler sandy and earthy rose.
Inside, the cohesive rooms allow the light to flow freely through the house with whitewashed walls. The decor is simple and organic as the house itself. And of course Anne's art with its organic expression and vibrant soulfulness almost blends with the house.
The house is lovingly restored, with respect for the original style and traditional materials.
Next to a large terrace with columns, fragrant lemon and orange trees, view to the countryside and a glimpse of the sea in the distance, is a small studio. Sketchbooks, brushes, paints and canvases rest, and on the wall, dried plants from the area hang decoratively on a string. It is almost as if time stands still and body and soul are at rest on this beautiful place.
